@davejorgenson: A ‘Young Republican’s text chat leak exposed racist messages. Together, the messages reveal a culture where racist, antisemitic and violent rhetoric circulate freely — and where the Trump-era loosening of political norms has made such talk feel less taboo among those positioning themselves as the party’s next leaders. Meanwhile, The United States revoked the visas of at least six foreign citizens whom it accused of celebrating the assassination of the right-wing activist Charlie Kirk, the State Department said in a series of social media posts on Tuesday. Finally, a series of “violent” texts sent by a Democrat seeking to become Virginia’s attorney general has shaken up the state’s governor’s race, with Republican candidate Winsome Earle-Sears seizing on the controversy to try to reverse her opponent’s double-digit polling lead.
